“Dinner”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 31, 2013

We went to this restaurant for the 1st time this season, as we just arrived in Sarasota. We have enjoyed their wonderful Mexican food in the past, & this was not exception. The food was excellent (if you enjoy Mexican food) & authentically Mexican. The service was excellent & we had the usual visit to our table by the chef/owner. The price was most reasonable for the large servings we ordered. We definately will be going back several times before we return home.

“Can't Get Enough”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 28, 2013

We vacation in Sarasota every winter. El Toro Bravo is our absolute favorite place to eat. Not only is it the best authentic Mexican food in Sarasota, it's the best we have ever eaten anywhere. The owner and his wife remember us each year and are such gracious hosts, always mingling and visiting with each customer. The staff is amazing, on top of even the smallest details and never getting our orders wrong. The food is delicious. Chips and salsa so fresh, food cooked fresh upon order. Truly EXCELLENT food, we eat there nearly every day that we are there! (Our favs: shredded chicken chimichanga, chili Colorado, stuffed sopapilla, chili rellanos, and enchiladas- BUT I'd be willing to bet you can't go wrong with anything on the menu!) We highly recommend El Toro Bravo!! Can't wait to go back . . .

“Wonderful dinner here.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

Took our married kids and their two kids here just after Christmas. The kids looked it up, and when they get great reviews on Trip Advisor, we go there! Best Mexican food we've had, and the owner and his wife were so gracious. We'll definitely be eating here any time we're close enough!
